Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is one of the promising photovoltaic (PV) technologies for applications requiring high aesthetic features combined with energy production such as building integration PV (BIPV). In this context, DSSCs have ability to be wavelength selective, thanks development new sensitizers by molecular engineering. The long history dye research has afforded technology differe...

BACKGROUND The primary goal of this study was the fabrication, long-term stability, and measured release of a marker dye from a micro-patterned drug delivery device using (i) mechanical puncture and (ii) photodisruption with an ophthalmic Nd:YAG laser. MATERIALS AND METHODS A drug delivery device was made from a transparent bio-compatible polymer. The device consisted of two 2.6 mm diameter r...

Orthodontic adhesive is often left on the tooth surface when a multibracket appliance is debonded, and it is difficult to remove because its colour is similar to that of the tooth. If the adhesive changed colour during debonding, residual adhesive could be more easily removed. This in vitro study evaluated the usefulness of adhesive mixed with a small amount of fluorescent dye for clinical orth...

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have been developed as a promising photovoltaic cell type in recent decades because of their low cost, environmental friendliness, ease fabrication, and suitability for wide range indoor outdoor applications, especially under diverse shaded low-light condition. They are typically composed three main components: transparent conducting oxide (TCO) substrate-base...

A monolithic capillary electrophoresis system with integrated on-chip fluorescence detection has been microfabricated on a silicon substrate. Photodiodes in the silicon substrate measure fluorescence emitted from eluting molecules. An on-chip thin film interference filter prevents excitation light from inhibiting the fluorescence detection. A transparent conducting ground plane prevents the hig...

A new experimental setup was constructed to allow parallel measurements of total internal reflection fluorescence and of capacitance changes in Na,K-ATPase-containing membranes. Effects correlated with cytoplasmic sodium binding to Na,K-ATPase were investigated. Ion binding-induced fluorescence changes of the electrochromic dye RH421 in membrane fragments adsorbed on a transparent capacitative ...

A monolithic capillary electrophoresis system with integrated on-chip fluorescence detector has been microfabricated on a silicon substrate. Photodiodes in the silicon substrate measure fluorescence emitted from eluting molecules. The device incorporates an on-chip thin-film interference filter that prevents excitation light from inhibiting the fluorescence detection. A transparent AZO conducti...
